[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a white guy who was fourth or fifth generation from South Africa (Boer). When he filled out the application he clicked ‘African American’ not really understanding it was a racial identification instead of a nationality (so he claimed). When the schools found out they were furious and threatened to put fraud alert on his records to all schools but they eventually sorted something out. [/quote] He is African American.[/quote] No he isn't. African American = descendants of Africans brought to the US as slaves. [/quote] Exactly! That example the pp mentioned is fraud. The reason slave descendants are African American is that almost all cannot identity with a pinpointed African country. Newer immigrants from Africa can check Black but they would be labeled Somali-American, Nigerian American or in the case of the fraudster South African American. [/quote]
